Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
You've accomplished the ultimate in futility.
http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=281228009 That takes effort.

Re: Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
Matt Millen should be proud. I really feel for Rod Marinelli he seems like a classy guy and a nice man and from all reports a good football coach.

The Lions have one of the worst owners in all of sports, and I'm all for guys like that getting embarrassed, even though I can't ever really enjoy mocking a bad team like the '08 Lions. I just always figure somewhere in Detroit there's a small kid that really loves the Lions and just went through an 0-16 season as a fan. That's just brutal.

Re: Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
Marinelli's a good guy but if the Lions even consider bringing him back next year the fans should stop coming, perioid. That team needs to be blown up.

Re: Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
Seriously? I don't know much about the guy, but he just piloted the Lions defense to an 0-16 finish and one of the worst defenses in NFL history (going by points allowed). I'm going to go out on a huge limb here and say he's not a very good football coach, but being that I'm not a Lions fan and don't follow them too closely I suppose I could be wrong. But given the results I feel pretty comfortable with my conclusion.

Re: Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
Not quite. The first year Tampa Bay Bucs team went winless.
Marinelli was rumored to replace Monte Kiffin in Tampa, but I think they hired from within. |

Re: Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
Tampa only went 0-14 though. 0-16 hadn't been done until today.

Re: Congratulations Detroit Lions - a perfect season
Does this mean the Lions should lose all the way to the Superbowl and somehow win that one?
